Work That Reconnects is a dynamic, interactive group process that unfolds a powerful framework for personal and collective empowerment in the face of the world’s escalating ecological and social crises.
Developed by Joanna Macy – an eco-philosopher and a leading voice in movements for peace and justice – and her colleagues, the Work That Reconnects draws upon deep ecology, systems thinking, and spiritual traditions to unfold a step-by-step process that helps people reconnect with their inner selves, their community, and the broader web of life. To move from a sense of isolation to a sense of community and participation; from eco-anxiety and overwhelm to inspired action.
The 5-day workshop is a full immersion in the core ideas and practices of the Work That Reconnects and structured around a guiding Spiral that flows through four stages of the Work that Reconnects: Coming from Gratitude, Honoring Our Pain for the World, Seeing with New & Ancient Eyes, and Going Forth.
